First, on Thursday, the Dolphins released Javarus Davis, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.280 who was claimed off of waivers back on July. The 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.000 Dolphins on Thursday placed a few more players on the 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.039 COVID nineteen slash reserve list.

Alright, we're gonna turn things 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.160 over here and get to our media availabilities. From Saturday, 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.400 we heard from each of the Dolphins as sistant offensive coaches, 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.920 six in total. We'll go ahead and roll those interviews 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.960 right now and play the best clips and talk about 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.040 what they said right here on the Drivetime Podcast, and 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.840 we are going to kick things off here with new 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.359 Dolphins offensive coordinator, a familiar face here in Miami, with 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.760 Chan Gailey, and we'll go ahead and begin with a 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.680 question towards Chan about the decision to come back and 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.080 what that initial phone call from Brian Flora is like 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.760 was like when he invited Coach to come back and 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.760 rejoin the Dolphins and be the offensive coordinator here in 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.120 Miami right at the end of the season. He called, 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.080 and I was, you know, kind of taken aback a 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:39.919 little bit, and uh, but then we um we talked 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.120 about it as a family and we just I had 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.440 no idea, I didn't think so, but we just felt 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.359 like we were being led to do this, and so 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.880 something that we felt very very strong, and very excited 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.640 and very comfortable with. And of course, one of the 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.400 pre existing relationships that Coach does have on the Dolphins 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.760 current roster is working with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in two 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.560 different stops. This will be their third marriage together here 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.520 in Miami, all in the a f C East with 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.320 Buffalo and the Jets previously. Here's what Coach said about 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.040 his relationship with Ryan Fitzpatrick and how big of a 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.360 factor was that was in terms of him making the 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.560 decision to come out of retirement and come back to 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.280 Miami and coach the Dolphins. I can't say it was 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.200 not a factor. It was knowing that I would be 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:29.840 comfortable with the player that was here. UM, actually more 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:34.480 than comfortable. UM, very excited about working with with fits Again, 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.120 that was that was something that did play a part. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.600 And get ready for a theme for a buzzword here 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.040 throughout the course of all six of these press conferences 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.320 with the Dolphins offensive staff talking about multiplicity, talking about 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.760 being adaptable week to week. Here is what Shan Gailey 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.800 had to say about what his offense wants to be 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.720 from a schematic standpoint, and on that versatility, adaptability and 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.560 being multiple. There's two things. One thing, we try to 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.800 stay balanced that I want to be a balanced offense. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.360 I want us to be able to run the football 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.880 and throw the football effectively. Uh. That's that's really big 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.320 in the way I see offensive football. And then the 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.800 next thing is to meet you adapt to the players 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.760 that you have. You have to adjust your schemes and 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.800 and see who you have. And that sometimes is even 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.280 on a week by week basis, and this year that 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.440 may be more important than ever is to have a 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.479 system in place that you can adjust to to make 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.160 the players that you have be successful. That's what I've 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.520 always tried to be about, is putting them in position 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.000 to be successful. And you're gonna hear Coach go back 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.680 to this a few times later in some questions we 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.000 have head here on the Drive Time podcast. But he 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.320 talks a lot about how the quarterback play and the 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.200 relationship and leadership of those quarterbacks really helps make that 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.599 multiple offense, that versatile offenses. They communicate things to the 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.120 rest of the players on the offense and how that 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.640 helps expedite some of those expectations, and really how beneficial 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.120 it is that they have guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick to 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.680 a tongue of Iloa and Josh Rosen who all excel 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.440 in those areas. And so here is Chan talking again 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.719 about his relationship with Fitzpatrick and how his team first 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.960 mentality is super beneficial to this Dolphins offense. He is 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.640 a team player. He is a team player, and he 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.279 is trying to be the best heat and be and 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.120 be a great player. But at the same time, he 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.560 he shares his knowledge and he shares his experience and 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.640 that's what makes him a unique guy. And our relationship 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:44.680 is um just like most other relationships. Um. There's times 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.320 that it's very very good and then there's other times 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:55.240 UM so um. Well, but through the years we communicate well, Uh, 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.880 he understands what we're trying to get done. We try 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.679 uh put him in position to be successful and allow 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.880 him to use what he does to help us win 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.800 football games. And uh, I respect him as a competitor, 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.080 as a person and certainly as a player. And staying 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.480 in that quarterback room. The next question post a Chan 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.760 was referring to the skill set that to a tongue 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.240 of Voloa displayed on tape there in college that made 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.960 the Dolphins attracted to his game and eventually select him 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.039 with the fifth pick in this last April's draft. You 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.360 look at the success he's had the obviously he's a 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.520 very good leader, and you take all those great players 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.599 that they had at Alabama, it's got to come together 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.560 on the field. You can do all the coaching you want, 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.320 but when they walk out there on the field, the 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:52.039 players play, and obviously his leadership and is ability to 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.039 throw the football, is touch game management. All of that 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.040 type of stuff, and then of course the quarterbacks coach 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.520 is going to be in that room with Rose and 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.960 tongue of Voloa and Fitzpatrick every day and how he 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.440 can help develop that room. Here's what Shan Gilly had 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.480 to say about what made Robbie Brown, new Dolphins quarterbacks 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.800 coach the right guy to be in that room to 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.239 help the development of those quarterbacks. Well, I was fortunate 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.920 enough to be Robbie's college coach, and um I knew 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.040 then how intelligent he was and that he wanted to coach. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.520 And he's been He's been a coordinator in small college, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:33.840 He's called plays, he's been successful. Um I have a 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.000 great deal of respect for Robbie and his understanding of 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:43.400 football and more importantly, his understanding of people. He really understands, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.200 um the inner workings of a person and and how 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.240 to get the best out of him and how to 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.120 relate to him. He's excellent at that. I think it's 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.760 a very valuable trait to have him among the coaching 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.360 staff is the ability to relate to different players and 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.520 coach guys differently. You're gonna hear that throughout the course 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.040 of these media availabilities. Up next, Chan was asked about 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.840 the evolution of his offense and what White looked like 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.520 schematically from his years pass in the NFL now to 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:15.800 the Dolphins. Has it changed. The terminology is the same, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.800 but and some of the plays are the same. But 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:24.160 it I think it changed from Buffalo to New York 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.600 because of personnel we had, and it's gonna make another 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:32.120 change because of the personnel we have here. So uh, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.920 if you ask fits, is the terminology the same? Um? 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.360 It's a yes. Um. Are the thought some of the 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:45.559 thought processes the same? Yes, But we will be adjusting 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.480 and adapting to what the type of personnel we have. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.040 So it may not look the same to John Q 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:57.120 Public but there are some similarities, but there will be 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.680 things that are different because of the personnel that we 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.240 have and how we're gonna go about using them. And 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.679 speaking of utilizing that talent on the offensive side of 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.839 the ball, Coach was asked about how he plans to 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.200 get the most out of this receiver corps and what 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.120 he has with Davanta Parker, Preston Williams and replacing the 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.240 two guys who did opt out in Alan Hearns and 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.040 Albert Wilson. Here's Shanghiley on his wide receiver room. There's 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.440 obviously some talent on the field. They made a lot 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.319 of big plays the last half of the season, and 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.160 it wasn't just one or two. We all know about Davante, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.840 but there's there were several people that made big, big plays. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.280 And here next, I think is my favorite response to 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.800 any question of all these coaches in this particular media availability. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.679 I'll go ahead and play the question and the answer 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.200 because I was the one that asked the question. Hey, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.079 good morning, coach. I wanted to go back to a 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.760 comment both Fitzpatrick and Joachim made recently about the freedoms 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.640 that receivers have in your offense. Could you expand on that, 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.560 maybe talk about how that benefits guys here like Davante 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.120 and Preston Jachim and Isaiah Ford, the great receivers I've 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.480 been fortunate to be around through my years, and I've 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.720 been doing this for forty something years now. Um, they're artists. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.079 They don't. They run a route and they never paint 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.040 the same picture twice because of the way the defender is, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.679 because of the route they're running, because of whatever it might, 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.000 you know, the coverage they paint a different picture every time. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.200 And if you if you take an artist who knows 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.679 how to get open and who knows what he's doing 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.559 versus a defender, and you try to fit him into 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.560 a box, that's where you make the guy less of 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.320 a player than he really is. I want guys to 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.840 be able to go out and be creative that I 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.000 tell him, you gotta be where you're supposed to be 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.360 when you're supposed to be there, But how you get there, 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.959 that's up to you. So we give them the freedom 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.960 to go get open and then we we think we 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.280 have talented enough quarterbacks they can see that and and 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.520 get them the football. I have a thing I'm going 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.240 to be going back to that, painting the picture differently 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.760 every time. Quote there from chan Gailey, What a great quote, 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.320 What a great insight into how he views offensive football 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.840 at the wide receiver position. Now we heard from the 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.280 rest of the positional coaches on offense, starting here with 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.560 running backs coach Eric Studiesville. And again another theme you're 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.760 gonna hear is guys saying that we don't quite know 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.480 what we have yet because we haven't got on the 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.840 field for practice yet. But here is coach talking about 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.520 the additions of the running back room, starting with Jordan Howard. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.040 You know, we're excited about the addition of Jordan Howard. Um, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.560 you know, his experience being in two different places and 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.080 what he brings here. He's he's a smart guy. He's 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.960 he's been able to pick things up so far and 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.120 what we're talking about teaching concepts. Um. You know, you 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.560 love his size. He's got good feet for a big 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.640 for a big back. Um, he's got good vision. I 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.080 think he'll be you know, bring it, have a chance 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.600 to be a physical presence for us um as well 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.960 as you know, effective in in the past game worth 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.439 what we're asking for. Matt Breda obviously with his experience, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.440 his speed, you see his burst and quickness early on 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.560 as soon as he touches the field. So we're excited 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.440 about him. But UM, you know, we don't know what 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.400 these guys will be able to do a contribute yet 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.480 because we don't even have all our installs in as 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.280 far as what we've done with them on the field 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.360 as a whole group, as a veteran group, and we 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.840 certainly haven't done it in pads yet. So it's right now, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.559 it's kind of exciting because the potential is is really 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.880 out there for what we can see, what they can 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.560 do and what we can build for him. So you're 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.840 here and talk about Jordan Howard and Matt Brita there, 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.760 how about incumbent running back Klein Blanche. I'm going forward 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.800 with Klin. I think you know, Kalin is a smart guys. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.240 He's he's passionate about this. He wants to be good 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.800 and I know he wants to improve from that performance, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.480 and that's what we're focusing on going forward. Um, he's 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.160 buying into what we're doing. He's given great effort and 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.319 meetings and on the field, So we just got to 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.200 see how it plays out. I don't I'm I think 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.760 you know. I think we'll take it as what he 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.560 demonstrates he can do going forward. And we finish up 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.080 here with coach with a question from yours truly, Hey, coach, 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.160 good morning. I wanted to ask you about your rotation 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.920 and when you put that thing together. Do you like 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.400 to have guys that can fulfill specific rule les or 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.319 is it more beneficial to have guys that can do 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.640 a little bit of everything? And how does that approach 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.880 shape the way this running back room was put together? 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:12.959 This offseason. Yeah, I think that the question as far 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.480 as what we do for roles, we talk about this 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.600 all the time in our room. I coach these guys 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.320 to be complete backs, that they all have to be 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.840 able to have the entire skill set, whether that's running, blocking, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:30.280 catching the ball, evading people, running routes, whatever those things are. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.880 They're all coach that way. Now they all do a 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.000 different lead and at a different level. However, they're all 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.200 the expectations that we can do that because you never 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.559 know when you're gonna need one of these guys to 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.880 step in. Last year is a perfect example, you know, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.120 with Miles Gaston and Patrick Laird. Then you know our 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.960 primary backs at the end of the year, and so 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.200 they're all coached that way. They determine what their role 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.360 is in the offense and what's going to happen. Um. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.280 You know, certainly we we have third down thoughts, you know, 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.599 back thoughts, first and second down thoughts. But at the 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.280 end of the day, whatever combination of those players and 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.920 what they've demonstrated to us during the week and in 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.200 preparation that gives us the best chance to win, those 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.280 are the roles that we're going up next. We had 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.200 offensive line coach Steve Marshall new to the Miami Dolphins 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.080 this year, well over forty years of coaching experience. The 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.600 first question for coach Marshall was about the difference between 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.240 the zone and man gap scheme and what the Dolphins 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.840 want to do offensively up front on the offensive line. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.120 We're gonna be multiple. Uh, you know, we've got we've 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.600 got good football players up there, and so we're that's 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.280 where I see it. You know right now, we will 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.080 will We haven't really even answered that question yet. We 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.720 just walk throughs and meetings, but uh, we'll see what 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.200 direction we go when we start getting the pads on 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.000 and things like that, as far as as far as 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.560 schematically and things like that, and uh, we will be 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.560 multiple in the things we do. It's just when we 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.720 get right now, we're in the we're in the kind 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.000 of the mental phase of it, and then we'll go 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.400 from there. And The Dolphins used the thirty eighth pick 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.600 in the draft back and April to select Robert Hunt 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.480 out of Louisiana Lafayette. Played some guard, played some tackle 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.840 there in college. Here's a little bit of a scouting 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.840 background of what coach thinks about Robert Hunt's progression so 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.040 far the first week here at Strength and Conditioning, Well, 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.600 Rob Hunt, you know, he's a he's just he's a 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.000 he's a great young kid. He's uh, he's got you know, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.840 he's learning the NFL game, you know, coming from Lafayette. Uh. Uh, 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.360 he's been a productive player in college and uh, you know, 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.840 he's day every day, he's it's a new adventure for 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.840 him mentally and what we're asking him to do. And 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.040 so you know, I like the heck out of him, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.360 and he's he's competing his tail off for what week 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.240 we're asking him to do right now? And uh again 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.680 that's uh, well it's kind of a question. We'll see 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.840 where it all goes. But I really like Rob is 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.840 a Rob's got a lot of character and he's smart guy. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.400 We'll see where it all comes down, where it all 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.800 plays out. And the last one here for coach was 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.080 a pretty expected question to come across his way with 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.680 regards to a left hand quarterback versus a right handed 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.200 quarterback now that Miami has a lefty on the roster. 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.560 I love his answer here about how you have to 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.280 have two good tackles regardless of which hand your quarterback 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.000 throws the football with saying, you know, there's been a 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.800 theory saying that you know, if you have a left hander, 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.240 you know you need the right tackle is the backside guy, 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.240 And that's absolutely obviously that's the truth. But at the 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.120 end of the day, it's you know, we're looking for 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.720 the best five guys and uh, you know fits into 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.200 one's right hand and one's left handed. How our scheme 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:45.200 all fits? Uh, you know what kind of answer that 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.600 question as we go schematically? Um? And will you know 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.040 that that would be the only difference. You know, the 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.880 theory is is that the right tackle now is the 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.040 facts is the proverbial left tackle when you have a 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.640 left hand quarterback. But at the end of the day, 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.600 you gotta have good too, good tackles and post spots. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:09.280 So it's it's, uh, you know, it's workable. Okay, I lied. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.680 We have one more answer here from coach Marshall. A 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.600 question pose once again by me asking coach about getting 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.840 guys to gel up front on the offensive line. Hey, coach, 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.760 good morning. I wanted to talk to you about kind 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.199 of jelling that on the how's it going on the 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.560 front of the offensive line and jelling those guys up front, 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.800 what's your approach to getting the best five out there 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:31.480 and getting them to Jael quickly in this truncated offseason. Well, 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.359 that's a nice word, truncated. I would assume you're saying 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:39.000 from Zoom and things like that, but uh, it's certainly 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.760 a challenging it's completely different. You know, I've coached football 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.280 for forty years, so I uh, um, there's a lot 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.119 of ways to do it. And again, uh, you know 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.159 that is a challenge that will be a challenge as 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.159 we as we start these these walkthroughs and things like that. 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.480 That's one of the things that we're doing is making 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:02.400 sure that we're communicating with each other, not not only 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.480 on the field, but off the field, and guys getting 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.640 to know each other where you know, it was uh, 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.359 you know, instead of meeting him through Zoom, they finally 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.960 get to kind of meet him in person. So yeah, 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.520 that's Uh, jelling is is the is a big, big 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.920 term and really the term jelling is communicating and it's 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.960 communicating together as a group. And and uh that's what 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.880 these move meetings are and Zoom and the and these 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.240 laws of these walkthroughs we're having. We're making strides in 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.920 that in that regard. And up next we had quarterbacks 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.880 coach Robby Brown, who I had the pleasure of asking 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.080 the first question to and his media availability. Hey coach, 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.120 good morning. Uh. My question here is about the collaboration 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.720 of kind of the diverse backgrounds of the offensive staff 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.919 and the experiences you guys have both at the college 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.720 and pro level, as well as different position titles and 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.840 different groupings on the offensive side. Is that kind of 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.840 the same line of thinking with the coaching staff that 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.320 coach Flores has for his players and guys that are 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:03.399 versatile and multiple Well, I think if you have a 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.879 ton of experience, different experiences, I think that helps you 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.560 in anything that you do, no matter what line of 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:15.000 work you're in. UM as as players, Yeah, that helps. 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.160 If a guy can do two things, it always does. 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.040 Um you know, some guys can and some guys can't, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.080 But yes, it does help. If you can do more 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:27.080 than one thing too. I guess keep what you're trying 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.560 to do away from everybody. I think it's different for 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.800 every guy. It's different for every position. You know, Like me, 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.160 I came in as a quality control in New York 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.720 and then went back to West Virginia last year. So 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:45.399 it's different for every single position. UM. If I had 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.119 come in from uh, you know, college and try to 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.960 jump jump straight to the quarterbacks, in terms of what 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.200 offense I had been in, UM, that would have been different. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:56.680 So it's good for me to go through the quality 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.680 control process. I don't think that's the same at every position. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.080 So I think every guy is different, Every position is different, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.120 and some people can make the jump better than others. 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:11.919 But it definitely is a transition, or it was for me. 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.440 You can't speak for them, but it was for me 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.840 in two thousand fifteen when I made that transition and 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.800 we heard from Chan Gailey about his relationship with Robbie Brown. 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:21.960 Let's go ahead and hear the reverse of that perspective 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.919 and Coach Brown talking about his relationship with Chan Gailey. 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:31.120 I have known I've known coach for a long time. UM, 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.240 so I've gone through the whole process with him. I 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.240 was a walk on quarterback for him and toward the 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.240 TECH and then I stayed there for a little while 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.800 as a volunteer type g A person because it wasn't 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.280 a spot on the field. Then I got a g 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.200 A job. Then I worked for him as a quality 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.760 control so I've kind of lived the whole professional life 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:54.479 with him. Uh. He's been a mentor mind and in 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.560 a lot of ways he's he's never changed as a person. Uh. 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.560 I had no clue uh that that that was a possibility, 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:09.120 and I um so I was. UM. I wouldn't say 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:12.639 shocked because he is a football guy. He's always loved 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.520 I loved the first down, you know, but I wouldn't 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.159 say shocked. But I wasn't. I did. I had no 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.800 idea that it was coming or that he was going 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.760
